Google says that the community of helpouts was not growing up with the pace google had expected. Google Helpouts, an online collaboration service from google was launched in November 2013. Now this google service will be taken down on April 20, 2015.  Both the Helpouts marketplace and Helpouts on partner sites will shut down on April 20, 2015. You will no longer be able to give or take a Helpouts after that date. But you will continue to be paid for the Helpouts you’ve given before the shutdown. Payments are initiated on the 15th of each month for the paid Helpouts given in the previous month.

Google said that

Since launching in 2013, Helpouts has been a home for people to connect with experts on topics they want to learn about or seek advice and solutions to everyday problems. The Helpouts community includes some engaged and loyal contributors, but unfortunately, it hasn’t grown at the pace we had expected. Sadly, we’ve made the tough decision to shut down the product.

 

Google also announced this news on its official Helpouts twitter account:

 

Users of google helpouts will be able to download their account history through Google Takeout until November 1, 2015. After November 1, all Helpouts history will be deleted.  All you need to make sure that you download your data before the date if you give your helps on google.
